Niki Posted August 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2016 Here are the foto's i would post when the event was over and it was a succes. We tryed to put the "wings" section of "Wings&Wheels" to a higher level and we did, with this collection to get the people to know about the brave men who went to battle . Many kids where amazed what they saw and asek a lot of questions about the pilots and there planes. Was glad we did this and next year we are instead of 12 pilots going to display 30 pilots. sorry for the bad pictures . part one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludwigh1980 Posted August 15, 2016 Share #7 Posted August 15, 2016 Wow, I applaud your effort. The care necessary to move such artifacts around and to be displayed outside safely and securely is quite the endeavor. The effect is stunning. Bravo!

Bebel Posted August 16, 2016 Share #8 Posted August 16, 2016 Always difficult and a hard work for well displaying such a collection. I hope that public was happy to see all these sets! Would the B-11/B-12 back parachute be complete on your Korean war USAF pilot? Franck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted August 16, 2016 Hi bebel, Yes the chute is complete with the life raft C-2A together and with the date 1952 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherneck72 Posted August 16, 2016 Share #10 Posted August 16, 2016 Wow…that's a good display. Without people who care, these younger collectors and future (hopefully) pilots wouldn't be able to see these great items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted August 16, 2016 You are absolutly right Leatherneck72 and thats the reason why we do this . You never get to see and touch these items , even not in a musuem. I had a little girl in the weekend who was wearing a flight suite of maverick from top gun and i saw that she was looking amazed around. Without no thinking i asked what kind of helmet she would like to wear and i put the helmet on her head . Instead of one helmet she was able to wear two helmets and a lot of foto pictures later the parents where trilled that it even was possible wear these helmets. The look on that girl here face,that was amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
